    GCQuad with TGC up and running

    I listed the steps I took to get this thing going. I just got done playing a round at a famous course down South where a big tourney was supposed to be held this weekend.

    Step 1: Buy this: https://golfsimulatorstore.com/colle...13246583636067 - this part is a pain because you need to install protee and TGC and wait for all your licenses to come via email.

    Step 2: Configure protee as instructed in other posts. Basically - you need to just change 1 setting to configure it to external data

    Step 3: Install GQSX.com - pm me if you need this

    Step 4: Connect the Quad to the computer via wifi

    Step 5: Connect to internet either via ethernet cable or another wifi card and bridge connections - this allows to connect to internet and qcquad at the same time

    Step 6: Launch Protee then GQSX (click on connect) then start TGC

    It should now work. No needing all that other stuff like you do for the GC2.

      It works fine if FSX runs in the background

        Just tested with firmware from July 8, 2020. Version 3.0.2.2. Started ProTee, then GQSX (hit CONNECT, all three turned green), then FSX2020, then TGC2019.

        I then played St.Andrews and played like crap.

          Oh boy, tough decision on the upgrade now... (have FSX and TGC, just not 2019.)

            No issues as long as FSX run in background. Works fine.

              I am able to get tgc2019 to work by starting fsx and then connecting. After connecting, fsx can be shutdown and does NOT need to be run in the background.

                Gee that’s interesting. So it’s a one time check that you have a copy of FSX installed before it will send ball data. Some clever cookie will crack that.

              AdamV yes, that's my guess as well. I think others can try this and report back whether they are having issues. If they are, I'm happy to write down and post my step by step instructions.

                  How long is the shot delay? One of the things I like the most about FSX is that there is almost zero lag, which was not the case when I used TGC with my GC2.

                    Maybe 0.5 of a second, unnoticeable when making a swing, but you can pick it up in slo mo swing vids.

                  Nearly instant for me, but seems it varies among everyone.

                    So here's how this works. The device sends 3 packets to the software. 1 is direction and speed then spin then club data. In FSX the ball takes off on the first packet and then spin is added. In TGC the interface waits for the packets. If waiting only for ball the delay is 1/2 to 3/4 of a second which is slower than FSX but not by much. If waiting for club data its like 2-3 seconds. This is why it's slower than FSX.

                      I understand this is a GCQuad thread, but if I have a GC2 and not HMT, can I turn off the 'wait for club data' in TGC to achieve a faster response time? I think you can do something of the source in FSX (wait for spin?)

                      Absolutely turn off wait for HMT in TGC.
                  • #132
                    TGC actually uses club data if it is on?

                      It can use club data.
                  • #133
                    Interesting. Does it actually get accurate club data? I’m surprised by that being an unsupported hardware.

                    Yes. Accurate club data if you don't mind waiting for the ball to take off.

                      Does anyone have a video of gameplay with the quad without the club head data? Just trying to get an idea of the delay.
